What are you playing?

Yonder The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
It relaxes me . A huge difference from the competitive and sad PUGB that i played lately.
The game has no violence , great visuals. You can build you own farm.
It is all about gathering things. I sense the story will grown once i have more fogs lifted up.
There is purple fog around some important area of the map, and every time you unlock using some spirits ,the story moves on.

How is the difficulty level in this game? Is it something children would be able to play (8-12 years old) or is it too complex?

Yes,this is for sure children between 8-14. I recommend
 
still on MXM rather easy progression even without RL$ involved ...

Jinsoyun unlocked (well prerequisite was 10 Titan Ruins match ... easy enough) unlocking Poharan will be harder ... ( prerequisite : 30 Poharan eyepatch .... actually at 7/30 P.E. and 7/11 SOL)

nonetheless fun to run the Blackram suppyl chain PVE Timespace Distortion, Poharan (Pohwaran actually ... since silent W in the original Language) boss fight outside BNS ... i dig it :laugh:

It's been awhile since I last played Blade & Soul... now playing back Mass Effect 3 & Andromeda with a little bit of Warframe, getting ready for Hydroid Prime.
 
Playing DOOM.

waiting for Need for Speed Payback and and FIFA 2018.
 
I have also started playing Paragon again too
https://www.epicgames.com/paragon/en-US/home it is pretty fun, good time killer most matches do not last more than 30 minutes if you play solo 10-15 against AI
argh, you remembered me that i was eligible for early access last year ... and i forgot it (i rechecked my mails because i wanted to check if i had an account for it ...)

i remember i signed up for it, but completely forgot about it because the game itself looked bland and tasteless (background wise) but still ... aesthetically it was a killer and probably what i wanted MOBA to look like since a long time
MXM was kinda something different than LOL, more on each aspect (the tag system is an awesome idea) but yet still a top view, but it's my favorite MOBA of the moment, i give a try at Paragon just need to dwonload :laugh:

talking about MXM

lvl 26: Poharan unlocked, now lvl 41: unlocked some more master with SOL, put 19.99€ for a X-coin pack, decided to get a 7d subs and got enough X-Coin from challenge and daily/weekly mission to add to the initial X-coin pack to afford some skins

Poharan, fun to play and quite a beast (ok only on Titans ruins PVE but still :laugh: )
MXMClient_08_25_17_00_23_31.jpg

got Lilu (30 titans ruins prerequisite) and Merope (lvl 40 as prerequisite), the 2 others have no prerequisite, V-Merang is funny and give a "Super Sentai" vibe :laugh:

now involving X-coins, well the "Gilded Rose Jinsoyun" skin looked awesome and put her in a more accorded fashion to the other master, albeit being a little more ... errr :laugh: "reclamation Sizuka" because ...awesome.... and "Bloodfist Yuri" for Yuri Tchaikovsky

edit.... what the hell ... i noticed that except Demenos .... i only unlocked female master ... well they are more fun to play, most of the time, so i guess it's not because they are female :oops::laugh::p

buuuttt before trying Paragon and since the DL will eat my bandwidth ... i guess i just play that :

20170825115057_1.jpg

edit ... oh well no paragon for me ... the game crash during the tutorial right at the inhibitor ...
re-edit: skipping the tutorial was the solution .... for once avoiding tutorial is a good idea :p
Paragon.jpg

verdict ... fun nice graphics (in epic settings, might be fine in solo pve but in multi dunno) character are not half bad (albeit the too little background bits added in the skill panel, that's trivial versus a full story about the hero :laugh: ) Phase is fun to play as a suport .... need to play a bit more but 1st impression deems it worthy...

Siren
on ps2 and as if it weren't scary enough I've just found out that it's based on real abandoned Japanese town.

Ok, I won't sleep tonight :kookoo:


It's simply unreal how designers could capture that eerie atmosphere. One of the scariest games (most likely the scariest game) I've ever played. :fear:
 
currently playing Mass Effect Andromeda & Warframe. Downloading Agents of Mayhem since it has very good feedback on Steam. Might give it a try 2morrow.
 
@flmatter wellll i'm glad the 3rd day daily login reward was 500 coins :laugh:

i remember playing her at a friends place and i got disappointed of the new unlock system ....
i like Phase as beginner hero .... but Shinbi and her wolves is one of my favs aside Howitzer, Twinblast, Kallari and Murdock .... i couldn't wait to unlock her via the lvling system

play rating: expert? naaahhhh she's most fine :laugh: (ok less resilient or easy to play than Phase ofc ... )
Paragon-08-28-2017 0-27-40-339.jpg
part mid lane part viable jungler part .... "HEYI'MEVERYWHERE!" is kinda my type

i need to do a good deck for her tho
 
I have been playing Phase alot lately and Zinx ( i think that's right, the kitty looking one) having fun with all of it though. Daily challenges are cool too. PM'ed you @GreiverBlade
 
My boys and I have been playing the hell out of Cosmoteer. For a free game it is damn fun! The ship design aspect has my boys addicted to it like Minecraft, I enjoy the Bounty Hunter mode dominating various systems. Has been a nice break from all the other stuff I've been playing (when I have time to play that is).

I've also be dabbling with StarSector 0.8 to see how that game's coming along.
 
I've been playing several Indie games, but mostly Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition.

due to real life stuff I can't really play anything aside from PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds). Rounds are short and It's a fun experience every game (especially with friends, whether you're messing around or trying to win) , The feeling is like DayZ all over again, minus the running simulator, buggy zombies/movement, and the endless looting for hours to lose it in 5 minutes of action. It's very much playable and enjoyable despite the early access tag. Also there's no story, progression, or creativity involved, so I don't feel the urge to play it asap or think about it during the day, as i am currently studying for engineering licensure exams in late october I need minimal distractions, just a way to relax from time to time. PUBG is that game.

I've already made a list of games i wanna play(or play again) come november cause that when I'll have lots of time:
Kerbal Space Program, GTA V Online, Elite: Dangerous, RealPolitiks, MGSV, Hitman.

thinking of buying a new PS4 as well, Uncharted looks interesting, as well as the upcoming Spider-Man next year. but I can't stand 30FPS performance. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like 30fps because it's been a while since I ditched console gaming to exclusively PC and i have since been playing at 144hz... I actually fired up my xbox 360 again recently to confirm that I can't stand 30fps anymore :(

FINALLY got to finish Victor Vran. The last boss was quite hard, but not as hard as some of the other bosses in other areas since my friend and I only needed to retry 2,3 times. I actually enjoy the challenge and difficulty of the game and this game certainly benefits a lot with co-op seeing how difficult it can be in certain areas. I mean, it's not as good or fun (or harder) compared to Magicka (1 & 2) but it's still a pretty good game (though lacking somewhat in the story presentation, but one should expect that).

Now, I can finally resume ReCore...at least after the Definitive Edition update completes. I stopped playing the game a couple days ago after hearing that there will be a Definitive Edition and also free update to owners of the standard one. Comcept is surprisingly punctual with the update though, so that's a plus in my book.

After some break, I started playing Resident Evil 7 again. Was a bit stuck with the insects section of the swamp house. Then finished it. Or so I thought... unexpectedly, the game didn't end where I thought it would. Darn.

Sounds like every RE game I've played :p
 
Three months in DF and a werefox appears and kills 30% of my population. He then turns human again and just outruns my poor, fat dwarfs. :(
 
Population control! :D


Finished ME:A, not sure what I'm going to play next. Considering my mouse died, I have limited choices until the replacement gets here...

how is it compared to ME2 and ME3?

Talking about EA, I'll be expecting ME:A on EA Origin Access in a few months. cause origin access is pretty good and I'm going to get it soon, it has Battlefield 1(3,4 and Hardline), Titanfall 2(and 1), FIFA, Battlefront, The Sims 4, etc. for $30(a year). I'm pretty sure I can play those games and eventually be done with them in about a years time so $30 seems like a good deal for a lot of AAA titles. If I liked it I could spend another $30 totalling to $60 in two years, just costing as much as a full AAA title if I bought one instead.
 
See this thread: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/mass-effect-andromeda-discussion.213481/

I put 94 hours and 40 minutes into it for 100% competition on normal difficulty. Considering I paid $25 for the Deluxe edition and barely touched the multiplayer, I'd say it's worth it.

It takes more after ME than the sequels (combat, loot system, and planet exploration) which is a good thing but the story is inferior which is a bad thing (good enough for me to see it through to the end though). You will also see the infamous animations issues (I am willing to overlook them but if you can't then avoid). I'd rate them (the complete package including all DLCs)...
ME 9/10
ME2 7/10
ME3 8/10
ME:A 7/10

...pondering starting New Game+ on ME:A but I also want to replay DA:I. New Game+ in ME:A lets me change everything I wanted to (female versus male, insanity difficulty versus normal). Really tempting but I haven't played DA:I in probably over a year so DA:I would be somewhat fresh where ME:A is likely not. Also doesn't help my mouse died yesterday (literally during the boss fight :cry:) and my spare mouse (Logitech Performance MX)...well...I hate it for gaming. ME:A is fundamentally a third-person shooter so until my new mouse gets here (SteelSeries Sensei RAW), I'm handicapped...on insanity. ...I think I should do DA:I. :roll:

Just finished Styx Deadly Shadows. Took me 41.5 hours but I could see someone only taking 8 if they so chose. The objectives are not that hard to get to if you want to go straight for them. In my case, I was less of a master of shadows so much as a shadow demon. I killed everything on the map before continuing. Some of these were challenging when they wouldn't put environmental elements by hard to kill characters like knights. Still with some creative thinking and the use of clones you can get all of them. Well except for young bariman (you can kill all his guards without him noticing though which is fun) and of course that zone where killing is forbidden, because old barimen will notice...even though afterwards you still can't kill them for...reasons...

Anyway I really enjoyed the game. I can see how it could be a stealth game if you chose to play that way...but it'd be quite dull and short compared to my nearly 42 hour creative killing fest.
